A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat

ion. The car comes to a stop in a distance of 120 m. How fast was the car moving when it was 60.0 m past the point where the brakes were applied?

Answer:

17 m/s

Explanation:

Data

initial speed, Vi = 24 m/s

distance travelled, x = 120 m

final speed, Vf = 0 m/s

With help of the next Uniformly Accelerated Motion equation, we can compute car acceleration.

Vf² = Vi² + 2ax

a = Vf² - Vi²/(2x) 

a = 0² - 24²/(2*120) 

a = -2.4 m/s²

Now, the final speed is the unknown and the distance is 60 m:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ax

Vf = √(24² + 2*(-2.4)*60)

Vf = 17 m/s

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

<u><em>L = 57.88 mm</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

We are given;

Wavelength 1; λ₁ = 589 nm = 589 × 10⁻⁹ m

Wavelength 2; λ₂ = 589.6 nm = 589.6 × 10⁻⁹ m

We are told that L₁ = L₂. Thus, we will adopt L.

Formula for the number of bright fringe shift is;

m = 2L/λ

Thus;

For Wavelength 1;

m₁ = 2L/(589 × 10⁻⁹)

For wavelength 2;

m₂ = 2L/(589.6)

Now, we are told that one wavelength must have produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength. Thus;

m₁ - m₂ = 2

Plugging in the values of m₁ and m₂ gives;

(2L/589) - (2L/589.6) = 2

divide through by 2 to get;

L[(1/589) - (1/589.6)] = 1

L(1.728 × 10⁻⁶) = 1

L = 1/(1.728 × 10⁻⁶)

L = 578790.67 nm

L = 57.88 mm

An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height . If it falls ,what becomes of this energy just before i
sineoko [7]

Answer: Just before its hits the ground it becomes kinetic energy and when it hits the ground it becomes in another form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example)

Explanation:

Energy is the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others.

In this sense, according to the Conservation of Energy principle: <em>"energy is not created or destroyed, it is transformed."</em>

So, in the case of the apple, its total energy is conserved.

When the apple is hanging from a limb, it has zero kinetic energy K_{o}=0 (because it is at rest) and has gravitational potential energy U_{o}, which depends on the mass m, the acceleration due gravity g and the height h:

U_{o}=mgh

When the apple falls, just before its hits the ground, this gravitational potential energy transforms in kinetic energy K_{1} (since the apple is moving), which depends on the mass and velocity V of the apple:

K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

When the apple hits the ground, the gravitational potential energy is zero (h=0) and the kinetic energy transforms into some other form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example).
